Acquire for Photoshop is a clever utility app from developer Flying Car that lets users take images with an iPhone camera and immediately upload the shots to Adobe Photoshop CS5 or later.

The $1.99 app sends the image over Wifi to Photoshop using the Adobe's Remote Connect feature introduced in PS5.

There are lots of iPhone apps that let you edit or otherwise affect an image in the phone… but these edits are usually permanent – the original image is lost. If you own Photoshop, you know that all the tools and effects you’ll ever need are right there at your fingertips, and you want an original, pristine image as a source. That’s where Acquire comes in!

Whether you are a photographer who wants to immediately evaluate the quality of an iPhone photo, an artist who needs a quick image for reference, a manager who needs to add a digital signature to a receipt for email, or a developer who needs to instantly ingest screen shots from your iOS device, Acquire is the perfect tool for you.

On a Youtube demo video, developer Brian Maffitt shows the Acquire-Photoshop interaction.  I was impressed with the quick uploading of a iPhone screenshot into Photoshop. Sweet.
